Its collection includes mainly contemporary paintings and ceramics by more than 130 leading artists. The facility also hosts regular art encounters with lectures, workshops, and author evenings.

Which we encourage, especially in autumn and winter, during increasingly cold and often rainy days.

While staying in the mountain town on a rainy day, we recommend looking at its most famous monuments. This is the so-called Górka. Sanctuary of Our Lady Queen of Poland. It is located at an altitude of 670 meters above sea level, by the blue trail leading to Klimczok. On the Wooden Architecture Route, in turn, is St. Jacob’s Church. This is the oldest architectural monument in Szczyrk at over 200 years old.

Children and adults will also have a lot of fun in the Tropicana water complex. It is located in the Gołębiewski Hotel in Wisła. There is a 25-meter swimming pool, a 20-meter leisure pool with waves and water spouts, a pool with hydro-massage, and a paddling pool for children.

A cable car to Skrzyczne, an ascent of Klimczok, the surrounding caves, biking trails, or walks along the path by the Żylica River. These are just a few suggestions you cannot miss in your plan for a stay in Beskid Śląski. Finally, after an eventful day, we encourage you to rest comfortably in Przystanek Góry.

Caves in Szczyrk – which ones are worth visiting?

AttractionsPosted on

The caves in Szczyrk are an exciting alternative to the most popular attractions in the area. Some of the caves can be visited alone, without any experience. Others are organized tours under the supervision of a qualified guide. So which caves are worth visiting during your stay in the region? Here are the recommendations of Przystanek Góry!

The Ice Cave

The Ice Cave, whose name refers to the characteristic fairy-tale ice dripstone formations covering its walls, is located on the southeast slope of Hyrca (which separates the valley of the Żylica River with Szczyrk from the Hungarian Creek valley). It is recommended both for inexperienced tourists and families with children. The short cave, measuring only 32 m, can be explored without special equipment – you will only need a flashlight. The cave is also known as the Partisan Cave because local partisan units sought refuge during World War II. 

Malinowska Cave

One of the most famous caves in Szczyrk is Malinowska Cave. It is a cave of landslide type, which can be visited only by people with experience and the necessary mountaineering equipment. Two trails lead to the cave – the red one from the Salmopol Pass and the green one from Szczyrk Solisko to Malinow. The time needed to visit this cave is about 3 hours. 

Jaworzyna Cave

The next place on our list is the Jaworzyna Cave. It is located on the northern slopes of Skrzyczne, where the blue trail leads. Getting there from the center of Szczyrk takes about 1.5 hours. An additional hour is needed to explore the underground corridors, which form a complex of four cave rooms connected by narrow passages. The entrance to the cave is located near the cableway station on Jaworzyna. 

The cave in Trzy Kopce

Another cave – in Trzy Kopce – is one of the longest (1254 m) and largest caves in the entire Beskid Mountains. The entrance to it is located on the southern slopes of Trzy Kopce, to which it owes its name. The yellow trail from Klimczok to Błatnia leads to the 1.2 km long cave. You should spend about 2 hours exploring the underground corridors. Experienced tourists can visit the cave independently, and people without appropriate skills can see it with a guide. 

Salmopolska Cave

The last one on our list – Salmopolska Cave (located on the western slopes of the Salmopolska Pass) – is another place that can be visited with a guide. Its main attraction is the exciting cave halls. The time required to go through the cave is about 3 hours. Many sections need visitors to crawl and squeeze through narrow tunnels. 

Here ends our “guided tour” through the most interesting caves in Beskidy. On the occasion of your next stay in Szczyrk, we recommend planning a visit to the surrounding caves. And after an exciting trip, we invite you to comfortable rest in our Przystanek Góry. 

Note: It is best to visit the Beskid caves (except for the Ice Cave) with a local guide, who will ensure safe passage through the underground corridors and tell you more about the explored place. For more information, contact the tourist information office in Szczyrk:

kuchnia regionalna Beskidy

Beskid Slaski – explore it from the kitchen!

AttractionsPosted on

While relaxing in a particular country or region, you should get to know and taste the local cuisine. The cuisine of Beskid Slaski has much to offer and stimulates the taste buds in many different ways. So what dishes are worth trying while in Szczyrk and its surroundings? Read more about it in the next part of this article.

Traditional dishes – regional flavours of the Beskid

1.    Potato dishes

The regional cuisine of the Silesian Beskid offers many different flavours that will satisfy the tastes of even the most demanding gourmets. The less fertile soils and harsh climate have forced the locals to adapt to the region. For this reason, they relied on pastoralism, fishing and beekeeping. Since potatoes were introduced to the area in the 19th century, they have been a permanent feature of the regional cuisine.

They are used as a base for many delicious dishes. When in Szczyrk, you must try poleśniki, available in two versions – yeast dough or potato pancakes. In either version, they are baked in an oven on cabbage leaves. Poleśniki are exceptionally aromatic, and baking without fat adds to their crispiness.

Other potato-based dishes worth trying are sztuchanki – mashed potatoes with fried onions and pork crackling – and potato pancakes baked on a baking tray. From the area of Istebna, Koniaków and Jaworzynka comes kubuś/kubusz. It is a delicious casserole made of raw grated potatoes. After being scalded with hot milk, it is put into a roasting tin, covered with a layer of apples or plums, poured with cream and baked, and tastes delicious.

The regional cuisine of the Silesian Beskids also includes many dumplings or gałuszek. You can find them in different forms and under different names – strzapate, fusate, laid, chybane, ścikane, biołe, szulane or z dziurkóm. They are usually served with pork fat and pork crackling or in a sweet version with butter, sugar, and cinnamon. 2.

2.    Sauerkraut and others

Many dishes in Beskydy cuisine are based on sauerkraut. Sauerkraut juice is served solo and in soups such as kapuśniak or kwaśnica. We can also find sauerkraut with zosmozkóm and szpyrkami, with potato roux and pork fat. It is also an addition to meat – ribs, ham or kiszka.

3.    Carp bouillon

The Skoczów region is famous for its carp bouillon as it is one of the most significant fish reserves in Europe. The taste of carp soup is enriched by diced vegetables and cream, which is used to whiten the dish. We also recommend trying carp croquettes with a bit of bacon. The dough for this speciality is similar to the French, except that beer is added instead of water.

4.    Cheese

You can’t forget about the cheeses when in the Beskydy Mountains, including Szczyrk. We especially recommend sheep cheese because, as it befits the pastoral area, the taste of bundz offered in this region is unique. According to tradition, it is mainly eaten between May and September during the grazing season. Then, when it ripens, it is processed into bryndza.

Traditional flavours in the Przystanek Góry

Also, in the Przystanek Góry, we appreciate regional dishes. Our guests can eat delicious breakfasts every morning in the form of a buffet. The menu features many products from local producers – including honey, natural sheep cheese and eggs from happy hens. We are glad to welcome our guests to the tastes of Beskid Slaski and take care of their culinary delights.

Nordic Walking w Szczyrku

Nordic walking in Szczyrk

AttractionsPosted on

Nordic walking is a form of fitness that is growing in popularity to enjoy the benefits of being active outdoors, but without the pressure on the body that running offers. The sport was started in Finland by elite cross-country skiers as a way to stay fit in the off-season. It is an inexpensive, low-impact all-weather activity that provides an excellent cardiovascular workout and engages nearly 80% of your muscles! You too can try Nordic walking, which we strongly encourage, especially during your stay in Szczyrk!

Nordic walking – how to start?

Nordic walking can be practiced by almost everybody, almost everywhere, at any time of the year or day. This sport offers many possibilities – from the gentle, quiet outdoor activity for beginners to fast, intensive training for more experienced athletes. All you need is a willingness, special poles and learn the technique.

It is best to ask a qualified instructor for help because, in the beginning, without tips and feedback, it is difficult to know if you are using the correct muscles while walking. In Szczyrk, nordic walking classes are conducted by Ms. Monika Łysoń, who gives lessons by appointment (tel. +48 509 636 210).

Why is it worth choosing Nordic walking?

Nordic walking involves not only your legs but also your upper body, actively involving the muscles of your arms, shoulders, chest, belly and back. This sport activates as many as 80% of our body muscles, while an ordinary march can boast only 50% of the result. Interestingly, it increases oxygen consumption and heart rate levels by about 20%. In addition, the poles provide support, making you feel lighter because the effort of walking is distributed more evenly between the upper and lower body. This means you exercise more challenging and get several benefits from doing so, but without the discomfort that usually accompanies higher intensity workouts.

This extra muscle activity also increases calorie burning. According to some estimates, Nordic walking burns up to 67% more calories than simple walking (depending on the technique used and the type of poles). It is also worth mentioning that Nordic walking builds greater muscle strength in the upper and lower limbs than regular walking. The poles encourage the user to lengthen their stride, which is more targeted at the buttocks, while the movement of the arms strengthens the chest and back muscles. This activity that does not strain the whole body also involves the deep abdominal muscles and the pelvic floor muscles.

Nordic walking in Szczyrk

Szczyrk offers many exciting places and routes for Nordic walking. Hiking mountain trails and walking paths, cross-country trails, or bike and footpaths along the Żylica River provide plenty of attractions for fans of this sport, regardless of their age or skills.

After a day full of activity, we invite you to relax in the Przystanek Góry! Near our facility, there are many trails where you can go with poles. You can also rent them from us! The Przystanek Góry is an excellent starting point regardless of the season. We offer comfortable accommodation in rooms with bathrooms, delicious breakfasts during which we serve local specialties, as well as the possibility of relaxing in our garden, where many attractions are waiting for the youngest.
